What is /kbin?
Create your own instance for yourself, friends, family, school, etc. Create and moderate communities, meet people with similar interests, and develop your passions.
Kbin is a modular, decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network. It can communicate with many other ActivityPub services, including Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Peertube. The initiative aims to promote a free and open internet.
The developer instance is at https://kbin.social
This is a very early beta version, and a lot of features are currently broken or in active development, such as federation.
Currently, a new frontend is being implemented on develop branch. In the next stage, a similar refactor will go through the backend and the project will be prepared for contribution.

Comments and Reviews
I've been looking for some alternatives to Reddit, and I can say that at the moment, kbin is the best alternative to Reddit. The community seems kind, unlike some other places, also supports federation.
Engaging community and easily integrates with Lemmy. Can be somewhat confusing to figure out that “magazines” are equivalent to “subreddits”.
It's like a better version of Lemmy
It's a great federated alternative to Reddit.
Fast and easy to use.
